Jimmy Fallon, who grew up in Saugerties and launched his comedy career at Bananas Comedy Club in Poughkeepsie, wrapped up his run as host of "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" with a tip of his hat to his Ulster County community.

Joined by the Muppets, Fallon performed "The Weight," the classic tune by The Band, the ensemble long based in Woodstock, to close out his show. Levon Helm, the late Woodstock resident, provided most of the vocals on "The Weight" and gave this song its timeless identity.
